Last misfortune. Last chance.

Golden Age Collection.

"The Occupation had forced many French men of letters to seek a land of exile. In the last days of 1941, Benjamin Péret took refuge in Mexico City, a city where, a few months later, he would write Dernier malheur dernière chance.In this long poem, which does not deal with Amerindian subject matter, one can feel the intense artistic and ideological tensions that dominated the Parisian literary scene, especially in the months leading up to the beginning of the European conflagration. This essay attempts to probe Péret's culture."
